What
Harry Doesn't Know [Yet]
After dinner,
Hermione excused herself to the Gryffindor common room. She needed some
time
alone, time
to think of why the blonde-haired nemesis of Harry Potter had written this
note. She
was sure that
Draco had always hated her. Draco!? Since when did she refer to Malfoy
as Draco??
Would this
note be the big joke in Slytherin tonight? Did all of their house rivals
know about it?
Darn it. So
many questions and no-one to talk about it to.
"Hermione?"
She heard Harry's voice whisper from behind her. Startled, she whipped
the letter
behind her
bag, blushing furiously. Harry's sea-green eyes looked suspiciously into
her's. Had he
seen the note?
she wondered.
"What?" Hermione
replied, affecting a casual manner, which Harry's keen eyes saw through
immediately.
He looked at the arm which rested on her knee, the hand hidden, and pointed
at it.
"What's in
that?" He asked. Hermione's face turned a shade redder, so Harry decided
he would
have to find
out.
"Nothing to do with you. It's my arithmancy paper." She snapped.
"Can I see?"
She shook her
head quickly, then muttered a quick 'Excuse me', before dashing up the
girls dorm
stairs. Unknown
to Hermione, Harry joined her, wearing his father's invisibility cloak.
Hermione
sat on her
bed, reading the note over and over. The invisible Harry crept silently
up behind her
and peered
closely at the letter. As he read, his eyes, invisible as they were, widened
considerably.
Written in
neat, precise letters, which was like Draco Malfoy, he thought, were the
words;
Hermione,
Shakespeare's immortal words line the pages of your book.
Romeo and Juliet:
Juliet ~
My only love
sprung from my only hate!
Too early
seen unknown and known too late!
Prodigious
birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy.
P.S. This doesn't
mean I like you Mudblood!!!
Suddenly Hermione
started crying. Loud, unheld sobs that made her shoulders heave with
emotion.
"Oh Draco!
Why? Damn it damn it damn it!" Hermione threw the note on to the floor
and
buried her
face in her pillow. Harry decided now would be an appropriate time to leave.
